ISS 408 Integrated Seamless Switcher • Ethernet Connection 73
Ethernet Connection
This section describes:
• Cabling
• Determing Default Addresses
• Connect as a Telnet Client
The rear panel Ethernet connector (figure 57) on the ISS switcher can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a
computer connected to the same LAN.
Cabling
The Ethernet cables can be terminated as straight-through cables or crossover cables (see
figure 57) and must be properly terminated for your application:
• Patch (straight through) cable — Connection of the ISS to an Ethernet hub, router,
or switcher that also hosts a controlling computer
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISS and a controlling computer
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable that is wired the same at both ends is
called a "straight-through" cable, because
no pin/pair assignments are swapped.
